Well, that's just handy...

Yesterday Jason and I went grocery shopping. While meandering through the produce section, Jason nudges me and points out a new technologically advanced gadget - a Muslim Bluetooth headset.

A Muslim lady was squeezing the kumquats while causally chatting on her cellphone... which was held against her head by her head scarf. Huh. That's inventive. For all I know, maybe she wasn't really Muslim and she was only wearing the scarf to hold her phone in place. Because, how else do you have a hands free phone conversation?

I tried so hard to get a picture of this lady. But, alas, every time I put my phone up to get a picture, the woman would turn toward me. I didn't want to be caught in the act, so I lost the photo opportunity.

Just one more thing in the world to make me scratch my head.

  2. @Youngman, you made me laugh when I pictured your face when the kumquats were getting squeezed.

    1. I think Youngman needs to take a post a picture of his face picturing the kumquats being squeezed.

  3. I'm picturing you hiding behind the apples, trying to sneak a photo. She was probably calling the cops. Ha!

    1. What's funny is, me hiding behind the apples is actually an accurate portrayal of one of my failed picture attempts. She did eventually walk away from the produce section... at a quick pace.

  4. I even ran interference for her and blanty said "Just take the pic. She's not even paying attention. " But alas it was not to be and there you all will just have use your imagination. At least till we see it again because doubt that was a one and only offense from that innovative mulsim lady.

    1. Yes, thank you for trying to run interference, Baby. I just need to grow a set. I mean, how else do I expect to get pictures for the "People of Walmart" website if I don't hone my ninja picturing taking skills now?
